Dear Comrades!

I congratulate you on the excellently launched campaign for the rights of workers' deputies.

Having read the vile squabble in the "New Workers' Gazette," I earnestly advise you to think the matter through and adopt my plan from yesterday*. It is impossible to leave such things without an organizational decision.

It is insufficient for workers merely to send resolutions: it is essential that workers organize deputations to the Duma faction.

Greetings and best wishes!

Yours, V. I.
